Actress Zooey Deschanel wore a short, colorful dress that she said was "maybe a little short for the Oscars."

No problem at the Indys, though.

"You can kind of slut it up, you know?" Deschanel said.

The Winners

The big winners included "Brokeback Mountain," which took honors for picture and director. Felicity Huffman was named best actress for "Transamerica." Philip Seymour Hoffman won acting honors for "Capote."

Huffman and Hoffman could win Oscars, as well. In fact, all yesterday's Indy spirit award winners are Oscar nominated -- including best supporting actress Indy winner Amy Adams for "Junebug," and Matt Dillon, best supporting actor for "Crash."

The Indy Spirit awards have a long history of irreverence and profanity. Even if the same people win Oscars, rest assured that their acceptance speeches won't be like Huffman's profanity laced Indy speech.

"Never let profanity get in the way of a good joke," Huffman said.

Likewise, expect Hoffman to be on relatively good behavior at the Oscars. Fifteen years ago, he made a deal with his college roommate that if either of them ever won an Oscar, they'd bark their acceptance speech.

"He called me a few days ago and said, 'I officially let you off the hook, but if you do it, you're my hero,' " Hoffman said. "And if I win, I'll meow."
